GOP Lawmaker Says He’ll Shoot Armed Protesters

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) said in a Facebook post that he would be more than willing to shoot any armed demonstrators in Louisiana.

Wrote Higgins: “One way ticket fellas. Have your affairs in order. Me?… I wouldn’t even spill my beer. I’d drop any 10 of you where you stand.”

He added: “We don’t care what color you are. We don’t care if you’re left or right. If you show up like this, if We recognize threat… you won’t walk away.”

Facebook told the Acadiana Advocate that it took Higgins’ post down for violating the company’s “violence and incitement” policies.
